Steam Locomotive Experience Applied inMechanical Design In the design of this locomotive the attempt wasmade to obtain those mechanical features which havedeveloped through years of experience with steam loco-motives. The de- sirable features arelocation of the massas close to the cen-ter as possible, highcenter of gravityof that part of theloconYotive carriedon the runninggear, as long arigid wheelbase aspossible, guidingtrucks located welloutside the mass ofthe running gear,equalization to se-cure stability, mini-mum permissible restriction of free movement of eachaxle and portion of the running gear and large dri
